Plato taught me to look at it this way: is all individualism good?
The answer is, no. Now the job is to recognize what in individualism is anti-social and vicious, and what in individualism is good.
The answer is, no. Now the job is to recognize what in individualism is anti-social and vicious, and what in individualism is good.
There is nothing anti-social or vicious in individualism. Those who think there is confuse their only subjectivist hedonism with individualism. The least dangerous or harmful person in any society is the independent, self-sufficient, individualist. All the others are parasites who despise the individualist precisely because they know they need him, but he does not need them.
